Tips and alternatives

If you don't want to make them gluten free, use normal plain flour and omit the milk.

They are also scrummy with diced bacon added (at the stage where you mix everything together - I dry fry it first but it's probably not necessary)Use non stick cake cases as the recipe doesn't contain much fat. Or, spray them with oil, or just don't use them - grease your tray though. The paper cases do make them a little more portable for picnics.

Do be wary of the cake cases though - we just found out the hard way that cheap ones we bought are rubbish. I was feeling dead organised too, having made them to take for a picnic (indoor) after swimming.
